Defective Drugs and Medical Devices
As a natural corollary to our medical malpractice and nursing home practice, Maloney and Maloney has developed its defective drugs and medical devices practice. As the healthcare industry has grown in the United States, so too has the use of prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and medical devices such as heart valves and bone, hip, knee and joint screws, rods, and plates.
When these drugs or medical devices are placed into the stream of commerce before adequate product testing and analysis is completed or without adequate warnings or instructions for use, they often result in serious injuries or death to those that use them.
Litigation involving defective drugs and medical devices is extremely complex. First the attorney must be familiar with complex medical conditions and procedures and have the financial ability to retain the top medical experts in the country to assist in the evaluation of the case. Second, knowledge and understanding of applicable federal safety and professional practice standards and technological issues is an absolute must. Finally, a comprehensive awareness of the interrelation between state law and federal law on the issue of defective drugs and medical devices is critical to the successful prosecution of a claim. Maloney and Maloney attorneys meet all these requirements for the successful prosecution of a claim for injuries resulting from a defective drug or medical device.
